According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a recent study conducted by the Environmental Working Group, a consumer health advocacy group, found hormone-mimicking chemicals in all liquid baby formulas. All liquid baby formulas tested reportedly contained bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone-mimicking chemical that has been found to cause hyperactivity, sexual development abnormalities and pediatric brain cancer in laboratory animals. BPA is reportedly used to make hard, clear plastic.
